People who think that being born of foreign enemies of the US, on US soil, and then raised as a foreigner and taught to hate the US, makes a person a NB[American]C have no conception of what a true American citizen is. They are so caught up in legalism and endless, increasingly absurd labyrinthine nitpick-style argumentation they’ve lost all sight and conception of the Founders’ goal. It was to protect and preserve this great nation. Thank goodness the Founders had greater wisdom than the soil-only crew.
Agreed. I and others have argued that "jus soli" (peculiar to England mostly) is a great system for grabbing servants, but not so much for a free society. It is a feudal based system of perpetual allegiance that is incompatible with American concepts of freedom. (In the absence of jus sanguinius)
